Gatehouse/Lighthouse (2012) is a project that used an infrared sensor to track when cars would pass by on Florida Ave NE, immediately in front of the original Gallaudet University Gatehouse, and used that information to turn on and off a light on the second floor as if to reference a lighthouse. When a car tripped the IR beam, the light would turn on for a few seconds, and if there were no cars the light would be off. Larger cars moving slower created longer on-states/pulses and smaller cars moving faster created shorter blips.
